SO MUCH FOR NO LABOR DAY...

On Friday afternoon, I wrote a list of about 30 things I wanted to accomplish. "It's a nice long weekend"' I said to no one in particular. "I think I'll take advantage of it and get some stuff done."

Here's the report...

Friday evening: Zip. Zilch. Nada. I did manage, however, to drool all over the Happy Chair when I fell asleep in it at 7:30.

Saturday: Aunt Chrissy and I went to House of Stitches and then It was again with the zip...zilch...nada. This time I was drooling all over the Happy Chair by 7:15.

Sunday: Yet again with the...(you get the idea, right? Do I really need to humiliate myself further by confessing to a nine and a half hour nap?)

Today: Labor Day. I called Aunt Chrissy at noon and said "I think I'm going to go for a quadra fecta and not do a thing today." She replied with a "What the heck is a quadra fecta?" and wished me good luck.

I'm not sure exactly what happened, but at about 1:00 I suddenly found myself outside cleaning up the gardens, and then it was inside to clean the bathroom, do the laundry, grill the chicken, water the plants, sort the fridge, organize a fall stitchy basket, balance the checkbook, change the bed, wash the dog....it's 8:15 and I'm ready to drop.

My only question is, were all the things you did today on your list? Because it sounds like something I would do but the things I would accomplish wouldn't have been on my list, except the sleeping. I have learned to always add that to any list, it feels good to be able to mark something off.
